Animals and inanimate objects

Why are they so popular?

I borrowed this recent cartoon from another one of my cartoons - it's taken from Ollie and Jacomo. It's popular, because people seem to like talking animals or inanimate objects. I'm not sure why.

I do cartoon on ancient Egypt and social events and cavemen and a play on words (but not puns) and the cartoons that get the most likes, shares and play are animals and inanimate objects.

Here's the Ollie And Jacomo version. Interestingly enough, I haven't published Ollie and Jacomo for quite awhile, yet it keeps picking up followers and fans around the internet. What do actors say about working with animals and children? Well, animals and inanimate objects seem to steal the spotlight, too.

I wanted to test the theory and that's why I redid the cartoon for my Tomversation comic panel. And I was right, people love this cartoon. If I made the tree talk I'm sure it would be even more popular!

This recently "voted off the island" was very popular, too. Toast, salt, pepper, fruit, all in living form, what's not to like?

I like to live by the quote: "Don't publish for likes, publish what I like and the audience will follow." But every once in awhile I'll throw these animals and inanimate things because I need to grow my audience.
